Hey everyone. I'm home sick from work today since I woke up feeling rather pukey. Bad news for me, GOOD NEWS FOR YOU! A new blog post. XD

So, I absolutely love dressing up. I am a theater geek at heart and participated in school plays and musicals from 7th grade until my senior year of high school. I feel like Halloween is one of those times where you can have a great excuse to be really creative not just with the costume but also the MAKEUP! I know I teased my Halloween costume before in the Snowy Ice Princess tutorial with my cosplay cat ears and paws I got. Well I did a little DIY at the last minute to make the rest of my outfit for Puss in Boots.

I bought a foam pirate hat, sword, feather, and ribbon from Michaels. Luckily, with coupons in tow, my total was less than $11! Process: black-out pirate print, hot glue ribbon to edge of hat, glue side of hat up with feather.

Then I cut holes into the hat and pinned the cat ears on both sides. Masking taped the inside so the pins didn't snag my hair. ^^

And here is a look at my makeup. Can you tell my foundation is 2-toned?

you look soooooo pretty! i'm so used to seeing the revealing halloween costumes and such, this is so refreshing and adorable :) are those contacts? cause you're totally pulling off the "puppy-dog eyes" or in this case "kitty" haha.

Wow, your makeup looks almost natural! LOVE how you used two tones of foundation to resemble a cat so naturally. You actually resemble that second picture of the cat from Shrek (I forgot his name). I love your circle lenses and lashes btw! :D

Ahhhh Jenn, I sorta wish you put this up sooner.Def. put on a tutorial on youtube for next year. this is a greatttt idea.i have a shimmery orange/gold shadow i never ever use and now i know exactly where to use it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hahahahhahahaha.

your nose is so cute!! I thought it was real at first T__T Like, I thought it was one of those stick on nose things...then I looked closely, lol. I would love a vid tut on this costume...it looks so cute. :D (but I'm still obsessed with the nose, haha)

i just wanted to leave a comment bc i've been a silent reader for a long time now .. but i think it's about time you know how much i absolutely love and appreciate your blog (and the time you dedicate to it)! keep it up (:

You're so talented and beautiful!Great costume!!!And since you asked in your post ... :P This halloween I dressed up as a dark fairy (not very original I know but it was a last minute decision).Kisses from ItalyDani
